Graduate students and PhDs may create their account and enroll here by Wednesday, August 28, 2024 at 11:59pm ET https://www.erdosinstitute.org/cohort-enrollment.
*We strongly encourage prospective participants unaffiliated with our sponsoring academic institutions to seek external sources of funding, both from their institution and through grants, to cover their cohort tuition.
We suggest that academics first ask their advisor or postdoc mentor, departmental Chair, and/or Director of Graduate Studies to sponsor their tuition. Several faculty, departments, and graduate schools choose to support their Erdős participants through grants and professional, travel, or conference funds. Alternatively, prospective participants may successfully find support from their College's Graduate Student Career Services, Graduate School, or Postdoctoral Affairs Office.
We also write letters of support for faculty who wish to write Erdős professional development support into the Broader Impacts section of their grant applications.
For any questions, please reach out to Head of Academic Sponsorships, Amalya Lehmann, at amalya@erdosinstitute.org.
